BACKGROUND
Hollow ceramic spheres are novel materials which may be prepared on a large scale and are currently and mainly used as a propping agent for petroleum and natural gas exploitation. The hollow ceramic spheres have the characteristics of low density and high strength and have a huge application potential in the development of novel complexes. If the hollow ceramic spheres are added into an organic dielectric material such as epoxy resin, the heat conductivity coefficient, dielectric properties and mechanical strength of these organic matters may be improved. If the hollow ceramic spheres are added into a metal material, the mechanical properties of the metal material may be effectively improved to prepare a composite which is low in density, high in strength and resistant to impact, and the material serving as a structural material has an important application value in many fields. When being used as protecting materials, the hollow ceramic spheres are combined with other materials to form a gradient layered structure, so that the properties can be further improved. For example, a surface layer is a high-hardness metal material, a middle layer is a complex, and a bottom layer is a high polymer soft material, so that the impact resistance of the material may be greatly improved. 3D printing is a rapid forming technology and is used for constructing an article in a layer-by-layer printing way, and the properties of the material may be precisely designed and controlled by regulating the composition and structural parameters of a layered structure.
Therefore, a heretofore unaddressed need exists in the art to address the aforementioned deficiencies and inadequacies.
